"Under Michigan law, local election commissions must hire an equal number of Republican and Democrat poll workers. However, Kalamazoo and Flint officials significantly deviated from this requirement.
For example, while Kalamazoo hired 132 Democrat election inspectors ahead of the state’s August primary elections, the city only hired 60 Republicans. In Flint, the ratio was worse, with 442 Democrat election inspectors compared to just 27 from the Republican Party.
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said the party is “weighing all its legal options to restore Michiganders’ faith in their elections.”
